Market Analysis Farewell

Tom Harmer came to pick up Market Analysis a little before noon today. We
gave him the tour of the ASAP farm and showed him Timesareachanging, Taser
Gun, Cash Wilco, Lakehills Texas, ARNE, Bob Cook, and so on and so on! We
told him this is where the horses come when they leave the track, for the
past 20 years we have loved and cared for each and every horse that has
been entrusted to us by the race owners.

We would like to thank Tom Harmer for his donation for the horses at ASAP.
Also thanks to Michelle Crawford for adopting Market Analysis and
bringing him back home to New York where he was born! We are hoping
Hoofbeats will do a story on his amazing life and journey back to where it
all began!

Need a Volunteer for Market Analysis

Yup the rumors are true - Market Analysis is returning home to New York to
Crawford Standardbred Farm!!!

I need a volunteer to come and help me prepare him for his trip - a nice
grooming......to polish him up for Michelle! Can anyone help this
weekend?

RINGO NEEDS FOSTER FAMILY

Please help Ringo! Thanks to donations from anonymous people his life was
spared from slaughter out in Pennsylvania. Thanks to our wonderful ASAP
supporter Lori H., his transport is paid from PA to WI.

Now this 11 year old ex- Amish STB gelding needs a loving family. ASAP
would love to be able to takee them all, but it is impossible for us to do
this without support. We had several people step up to help the local 6
year old Amish gelding, but this horse is traveling literally hundreds of
miles and we must have a solid plan established for his care. If you can
help. please please contact Sue at asapinc@mwt.net or call 608-689-2399 or
608-792-5126. We need your support!!

Amish Gelding Update

It looks like the young man Randy (renamed Brandy by his foster family) is settling in well.  Please see the attached pictures and know that this horse has a second chance at a great life thanks to all of you who contributed.  He appears a little "stunned" by his recent activities.....a bit of a culture shock for him I am sure!

Feel free to join us for our board meeting Wednesday night, January 30, if you wish to become more involved with ASAP.  New members always welcome!

Amish Gelding In New Home!

Thanks ever so much to Jay Vosseteig for providing the truck and trailer
to get the Amish gelding, Randy, to his new foster home near Ontario!
Thanks to Jeff and Kim R. for providing their home!

He was out in the back of the barn eating from a pile of manure mixed with
hay when we arrived. He appeared weak while walking, but stepped right up
into the trailer. When he unloaded, his back legs also appeared to be
very weak, and he swayed. We are hoping that a good solid diet and a
deworming program will bring his strength back. A farrier will pull his
shoes and the vet will be called to pull a coggins right away.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that he is merely weak, and isn't showing
signs of EPM. I don't know why that thought crossed my mind as I drove
home....hope it isnt, as we haven't seen EPM in horses for the past ten
years. Before that, we received several horses into our care who had it,
but all except one recovered from it so it CAN be treated.

Thank you everyone for your continued support!
Pictures later today!

Amish Gelding Update

We stopped at the barn today to pay Levi for the STB gelding (thanks to
those who donated, it isn't the full amount Levi wanted but hoping he'll
accept what we raised). The gelding was gone. Levi and his family were
not home. I left him an envelope and asked him to call me.

I am most worried, as there was about 1/2 bale's worth of loose hay left
in the barn..........thanks to those who are trying to help us help him. Will keep you updated....

Amish Gelding Helped!

We have one $200 commitment, a donation from DT's "mom" (thank you!), and
if we can reach $400 we will attempt to take that amount to the Amish man
to see if he will accept it.

Thanks to Kim and Jeff R. of Ontario, who may be willing to take this
horse in for rehab and foster!!! Things are moving along. Thanks to
Trudy M. for offering to take him in as well.......will keep everyone
updated on how things proceed!!

Keep the pay pal donations coming please!!!

6 Year Old Standardbred Gelding - Amish Horse - Needs Home!!!!

A man from Ontario called who has a six year old STB gelding who he will be calling the kill buyer to pick up if no one steps up for him.

No behavior issues - goes great pulling buggy until he comes to a steep hill- then is extremely cautious and Amish owner thinks he might have navicular but has had no diagnostics done.

If anyone can help ASAP get this beautiful horse before he also ends up in Mexico, let Sue know at  asapinc@mwt.net or call 608-792-5126 cell.  Urgent!  I will try to get pictures tomorrow.
